"Ahem... stop talking, she's coming." Someone saw Li Xin coming over and quickly said to others.
Several middle-aged women looked at Li Xin with probing eyes. That kind of gaze on him made people feel very uncomfortable.
Li Xin also looked at them generously, and those people quickly withdrew their gaze and left.
"This person even dared to commit suicide on his wedding night. Let's leave quickly and don't come to make trouble with us later." Li Xin vaguely heard the aunties who were walking away still mumbling about her.
It seems that after the marriage incident, her reputation in the village has become not so good...
Forget it, we're leaving anyway.
Li Xin touched his nose and was too lazy to go up and cause trouble for those passers-by. There was nothing to say to those gossips. It would just be a quarrel if he went over to them. He was afraid that they would say even more harshly.
…
The place where she works is not far from the village. Li Xin is in poor health, so she comes to work just to make up the numbers, and the work is not much.
"Comrade Li Xin, just go to the mountain and carry back some firewood." When the team leader saw her, he handed her a backpack.
The backpack reached her thighs and was very big.
However, girls only need to carry two full baskets, so the task is not difficult.
To carry firewood from the mountain, you have to walk through the village and climb the mountain. The empty basket is still light, but it will be very heavy when filled with firewood.
Li Xin didn't want to make two more trips, so he put all the remaining firewood in, filling up half of the backpack.
Li Xin was a little out of breath when he went down the mountain carrying the backpack. He put the backpack down from his shoulders and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
After just walking a short distance down the mountain, Li Xin felt that his body could no longer support him.
The original owner's body had been malnourished for many years and was unable to do this kind of strenuous work.
This was just half of the basket of firewood. She had seen other people carrying a full basket of firewood back in the morning without feeling any difficulty at all.
"I'd better ask Sanmao to make me some more delicious food to nourish my body." Li Xin sighed and sat down on the grass next to him to rest.
After resting for a while, Li Xin felt recovered, picked up the backpack and continued walking.
This time, Li Xin walked all the way to the edge of the village before stopping and putting down the backpack again.
She stood beside the backpack, wiping her sweat and preparing to rest for a while. She calculated the remaining distance in her mind and thought that if she rested twice more, she would be able to successfully deliver most of the firewood in the backpack.
"Do you need help?"
Just as I was thinking about it, a male voice suddenly sounded beside me.
"?" Li Xin heard the sudden voice and turned around in surprise, and saw Xu Jincai appeared beside her at some point.
Xu Jincai also carried a backpack on his back, which looked bigger than hers and was full of firewood.
Oh, is this the man her cousin has fought for all her life?
Xu Jincai has a gentle and handsome appearance. His tall and thin figure is really very likable. He is also an educated youth who came to the countryside from the city. He is well-educated and knowledgeable. He has been in Guangyuan Village for two years.
Not only Li Xueping liked him, but the original owner also liked him, thinking that this kind of gentle and handsome man was suitable for living together. So the reason why there was a big fight at the wedding was also related to this Xu Jincai.
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Li Xin didn't care about those things. He would never refuse free labor. Since the other party asked, it would be rude to refuse.
Xu Jincai was originally walking behind her, and only came over to ask her when he saw her put down her backpack to rest.
But at this moment, looking at Li Xin's cheeks, which had turned red from carrying firewood, his complexion seemed much better than his usual pale appearance.
There seemed to be a little more flesh on her cheeks, and they were no longer sunken.
Although she still looks a little sickly, she has more of the soft feeling of a sick beauty, which makes people want to protect her.
Li Xin seemed... a little different. She was much prettier than before, and her every move had a more feminine charm.
Is it because of marriage?
I didn't realize she was so pretty before. It's a pity that she married a rough soldier!
Xu Jincai was thinking in his heart, his eyes fell on Li Xin's face, and he looked at her twice.
"Let's go." Li Xin saw that he was just staring at her, and couldn't help but urge her, "Why are you looking at me? Is there a backpack on my face?"
Could it be that he was just trying to be polite and didn't actually intend to help her with the work?
"Oh..." Xu Jin came back to his senses, picked up the backpack that Li Xin had placed on the ground, and walked towards the work place with Li Xin.
"I heard from Xue Ping that you had a big fight all night because of your wedding. That soldier... wasn't he very nice to you?" After taking a few steps, Xu Jincai asked her as he walked.
Actually, if you think about it, a man who serves in the army looks like a reckless man. How can he know how to love his wife?
It’s good enough that I didn’t scare my wife to tears!
Li Xin felt offended. Although the news of the original owner's suicide attempt had spread throughout the village, what did it matter that Xu Jin just came to ask?
"It has nothing to do with you." Li Xin said coldly.
"Don't get me wrong, I... I just want to care about you. After all, you are Xue Ping's cousin, and I thought we were already friends." Xu Jincai smiled awkwardly.
In fact, there was a reason why Xu Jin asked this. It was not without reason that he could not see that this sickly girl was interested in him, and she showed it quite obviously.
